The spa didn't work! So disappointing as that was part of my main search provisions. I mentioned it to them at the time of my stay and after, with zero response. There was also a bedroom lamp that didn't work. I paid extra for the spa that didn't work.

Be careful giving your card details as the owner thinks he then has a right to keep charging you for things without discussing them with you first! Will not be returning!

The property is in a great location for attending the footy at GMHBA stadium. The owners were fantastic in upgrading us to a unit that had two bathrooms (there were 6 adults), however, they only made up bedding for 5, when our booking was for 6. We managed ok, but it was disappointing.
